I checked all over this forum and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I use Photoshop to reduce my image size down to the allowed size (~250KB). But when I attach it to my message, suddenly that size is reduced to something around 50KB. Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Also, when I right click on some of the posted photos here, the image information tells me that many of them are 500+KB. How are you doing that?
